for your listed mods, it will probably cost you a little bottom end....

If you are really set on losing bottom end, go search for it (red "search" in top right).

not enough loss to make a difference. My bottom end is peppier than ever and i have the IAB's out. If you remove them, there are ways to tune around the supposed low end power loss.

what writeup? lol

all i did was unscrew the valves from the shaft. The shaft is still in there. Probably disrupting the air flow, but who cares...i got something better to replace it.

there arent any gains. I'm running a p28 which doesnt control them and i didnt feel like ******* with the ecu just to get them to work.
